Cureus 14(8): e28033. doi:10.7759/cureus.280332168-8184http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12613/9866Chronic low back pain is a prevalent and sometimes debilitating condition. This case report describes a 69-year-old female presenting with axial spine pain. The pain was inadequately controlled by opioids as she was treated unsuccessfully with hydrocodone and remained to have the pain between 7/10 and 10/10. Peripheral neural stimulation (PNS) was trialed and then used to control her pain. PNS is a device-based treatment option that appears effective in a subset of patients. It has been effectively used to treat many different chronic pain syndromes. The patient responded well to the treatment, with her pain intensity going down to between 2/10 and 5/10 on the same scale. She was able to discontinue her use of opioids. PNS can be a safe and effective treatment in patients who have not responded well to pharmacologic analgesia.2 pagesengAttribution CC BYhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Interventional pain medicineLower back painAxial spineAcute painCluneal neuralgiaText
